You always need compost for your garden---normally it can only be made
in sufficient volume by shredding roadside leaves or chipping tree
limbs---either from chemically untreated areas. You also need several
grinding screens and a bar-discharge chute to produce the size of
chipped or ground material you want. You need a 1/4" screen for potting
soil, and like any compost will have to mix in nitrogen material like
green grass with carbonaceous material (small-diameter dry organic
material) in a one-to-thirty ratio to make the composting bacteria
happy. Keep the compost pile fairly wet and turn it often. A nine
horsepower engine is adequate. I had a WW Grinder once, and a Kemp
---neither would chip limbs, only grind stuff like wet, stringy stalks
from my banana grove and regrind wood chips. I threw away the five
horsepower engine on the WW, put on a eight hosepower which worked
well, and suffered a world-wide wait for a five horsepower Kemp to
regrind chips I got from a road crew.
Best ones currently available are MacKissics---mercilessly expensive at
about $1800 including freight, plus expensive screen options. E-bay
might provide some cost relief. They aren't common enough to find in
estate auctions, at least cities the size of Roanoke. I'd go for a nine
hp. engine with a cast-iron cylinder liner.
Some enlightening user comments---all leading to the conclusion
MacKissic is the only realistic choice, anything else is a waste of time
and money. Chippers, Part II
